Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: Ross Chapman| T: M A Barnes| OR: 130| D

25/1

Did very well over fences last season, winning 4 of 6 starts. Stamina just stretched by 4m on heavy when last seen in December and still looks on a fair mark. Big player if primed after break.

Coup De Pinceau^p⁴⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: H Cobden| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 130| D

2/1

Useful chaser from a top stable but lightly raced in recent times and he has a bit to prove after finishing a remote fifth of 6 on his Market Rasen 7 weeks ago.

Form: 342/3P-5

Craigmor^p²⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: R Johnson| T: O Murphy| OR: 120| D

5/2

Enhanced his very good strike in recent years when making light of a 14-month absence in Market Rasen handicap hurdle in July. Fine second here since and needs considering back chasing.

Form: 1/11P-12

Monbeg River⁶¹

Age: 11| Weight: 11-2| J: Sean Quinlan| T: M Todhunter| OR: 120| C| D

5/1

No win since scoring at Doncaster in late 2017 and struggled for form last term. Was going well when slipping up after 4 out on his Stratford return but it was too far out to predict the outcome.

Form: 5/4694-F

Caboy^t²⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-1| J: S Mulqueen⁽³⁾| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 119WS

8/1

Winning hurdler/fairly useful chaser in France who made an encouraging return from an 18-month absence when fourth over hurdles here last month. Had wind op since. Respected.

Forecasts

Coup De Pinceau (2/1), Craigmor (5/2), The Boola Bee (9/2), Monbeg River (5/1), Notnow Seamus (7/1), Caboy (8/1), Bafana Blue (25/1)

CRAIGMOR's latest course hurdle second received a boost when the winner went in again at Sedgefield on Friday and Olly Murphy's 8-y-o can make a successful return to chasing off the same mark. Notnow Seamus won off this mark over hurdles during his time with Dan Skelton so is respected after an encouraging reappearance run for his new yard. Bafana Blue should also have a say if primed for this.
